It starts with the kick stand up like it would normally with the bike in Gear. I release the clutch after starting and the bike remains in neutral without the light. If I put the stand down the bike dies as if it is in gear. I see this every winter for some odd reason and the GPS has been replaced once already and the new one was cleaned at the dealer last winter.
If I left my Honey, AKA Pretty Pillion (who happens to be a tropical island girl), outside all night, I could only hope to out run her when see sees me next... But a machine built in the UK, a place known to be cool/cold and moist, I would expect a horny beasty each morning raring to go no matter the chill.
I have a double ground/earth cable at present.
@mully95 I did upgrade the negative cable and the battery. I have not replaced the positive cable so that does need to be done and I still have the OEM starter. The one you mentioned was the Toyota starter?
I started the bike normally last night and let it warm up to temperature before shutting it off. It did not have the stutter as it did in the morning. I didn't ride this morning but the temp is 55F so it should have been an easy start. I will tinker with it over the holiday here and see what becomes of my assessment.
